    This introduces and reworks some utility functions for retrieving or
    parsing information on apps. get_app_label() and get_app_name() now
    retrieve their informatoin from the AppConfig on Django 1.7+, and the
    AppConfig can now be retrieved through get_app_config_for_app(). The
    old legacy version of the label can be returned using
    get_legacy_app_label().

    At the moment, this will return some incompatible information for apps
    when using a new-style app label on modern versions of Django, but this
    wasn't expected to work yet anyway.

    Model fetching also has fixes on Django 1.7+. It no longer assumes
    anything about the provided app module's label, and instead loops
    through apps looking for one that owns the provided module.

    These will be needed for the app label support coming in the next
    change.

    Unit tests pass on Django 1.6. This change temporarily breaks them on
    newer versions.
